COMMENTS

The sequence satisfies the Gauss congruences: a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) ( mod p^k ) for all prime p and positive integers n and k.
We conjecture that the sequence satisfies the stronger supercongruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) ( mod p^(3*k) ) for prime p >= 5 and positive integers n and k. Examples of these congruences are given below.
More generally, for each integer m, we conjecture that the sequence a_m(n) := the n-th order Taylor polynomial of c(x)^(m*n) evaluated at x = 1 satisfies the same supercongruences. For cases see A099837 (m = -2), A100219 (m = -1), A000012 (m = 0), A333093 (m = 1), A333094 (m = 2), A333096 (m = 4), A333097 (m = 5).

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} 3*n/(3*n+k)*binomial(3*n+2*k-1, k) for n >= 1.
a(n) = [x^n] ( (1 + x)*c^3(x/(1 + x)) )^n.
O.g.f.: ( 1 + x*f'(x)/f(x) )/( 1 - x*f(x) ), where f(x) = 1 + 3*x + 18*x^2 + 136*x^3 + 1155*x^4 + ... = (1/x)*Revert( x/c^3(x) ) is the o.g.f. of A118970.
Row sums of the Riordan array ( 1 + x*f'(x)/f(x), f(x) ) belonging to the Hitting time subgroup of the Riordan group.
a(n) ~ 5^(5*n + 3/2) / (7 * 2^(8*n + 3/2) * sqrt(Pi*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 28 2020

EXAMPLE
|
n-th order Taylor polynomial of c(x)^(3*n):
n = 0: c(x)^0 = 1 + O(x)
n = 1: c(x)^3 = 1 + 3*x + O(x^2)
n = 2: c(x)^6 = 1 + 6*x + 27*x^2 + O(x^3)
n = 3: c(x)^9 = 1 + 9*x + 54*x^2 + 273*x^3 + O(x^4)
n = 4: c(x)^12 = 1 + 12*x + 90*x^2 + 544*x^3 + 2907*x^4 + O(x^5)
Setting x = 1 gives a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1 + 3 = 4, a(2) = 1 + 6 + 27 = 34, a(3) = 1 + 9 + 54 + 273 = 337 and a(4) = 1 + 12 + 90 + 544 + 2907 = 3554.

This is a Riordan array belonging to the Hitting time subgroup of the Riordan group.
Examples of supercongruences:
a(13) - a(1) = 11820510331777 - 4 = 3*11*(13^3)*(43^2)*88177 == 0 ( mod 13^3 ).
a(3*7) - a(3) = 4583419703934987639046 - 337 = (3^2)*(7^4)*2441* 86893477573061 == 0 ( mod 7^3 ).
a(5^2) - a(5) = 93266278848727959965820004 - 38754 = 2*(5^7)*19* 31416009717466260199 == 0 ( mod 5^6 ).
